Maschine is dope. Some of the best pads you'll find. It gets to the point where once you have your sounds loaded you don't really have to look back at your computer monitor. The built in fx could've been better though. Using it simultaneously with a daw like studio one is perfect.

^ I'm wondering if you're the same Obskure1 that did this mp3.com beat I have... "I'm no fool", sampled from Denise Williams...

Yep. Did that beat in my sophomore year of high school. So much drama came from that track haha. This cat named Nick Tha 1da took credit for the beat and used it for a record with some group called QCK (Queen City Kings). Then a group in Europe called Flow On Show jacked the beat for a radio single. Oh well. Deniece Williams actually heard the beat and liked it. Family friend played it for her in a recording session.

Crazy story, man... I downloaded that beat when I was a sophomore in high school. Now I have some history behind the beat, and it's a pretty awesome story at that. You flipped that same pretty damn well, man. Props ... a decade later, haha.

I have a bunch of beats from the mp3.com days... if I knew it was going to crap, and I would have had a broadband connection... I would have downloaded everything.
